For this video I wanted to show some interesting situations and how a firebrand player might react to them. This is by no means perfect gameplay, but each clip should show some skills being used to support our group and pressure the enemy. This time, the timestamps will include the skill(s) I wanted to highlight.
Thanks to [eXa] and Chaos for providing a multitude of fun fights!

I made the video longer this time, since I'm quite busy recently and couldn't make shorter videos more frequently.

[TC] is my private guild for alts. Some of these clips were recorded with my main's Guild [INC] on {Drakkar Lake} while we were linked with {Blacktide}.
